I. Standardized Storage Environment
Store paint cans in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place between 5℃ and 25℃, avoiding direct sunlight. Elevate the bottom of the can at least 10 cm to prevent moisture. Keep away from open flames and high-temperature heat sources. Store different types of paint separately to prevent cross-contamination.
II. Proper Sealing and Cleaning
Tighten the can lid promptly after each use. You can place a layer of plastic wrap at the can opening to isolate air and prevent the paint from drying and corroding the can. After use, clean any residual paint inside and outside the can. Fully cured paint layers can be peeled off in whole to reduce long-term adhesion and corrosion of the can wall.
III. Regular Inspection and Maintenance
Regularly inspect the can for scratches, rust, and weld leaks. Repair any minor damage promptly. Replace aged or deformed seals regularly to prevent seal failure leading to paint leakage and can corrosion. Avoid rough handling and impacts to prevent can deformation and damage.
